Managed by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, Eagle Point Campground sits along Schroon Lake in the Adirondack foothills outside places to camp around Pottersville, with access by both car and boat. The campground runs from late May through early September, and reservations are available, which matters during summer weekends when the campground fills quickly and site competition gets real. One reviewer reportedly tried to purchase another camper's reservation at twice the original price.
Sites vary considerably. Several reviewers note that many are unlevel and lack grass, with some on the smaller side, making maneuvering larger rigs a challenge despite the 40-foot RV maximum. Sites with direct water access tend to be the most sought-after. The campground sits close to a public road, and noise, both from traffic and neighboring campers with children, is a consistent theme across reviews. Ear plugs are a practical addition to the packing list.
The lake is the main draw. Campers can swim at a sandy beach that reportedly gets groomed nightly, and canoe and kayak rentals are available on site. Fishing requires a valid New York license. Showers and flush toilets are on site, with reviewers noting the showers are in good condition and not on a timer. Nearby options include Scaroon Manor Campground to the north and The Pines to the southwest for those wanting to compare before booking. Book early for summer stays.
